Weightloss Update

Well I have in total lost 11 pounds since my whiny complaining post about not being able to lose weight. This has been with the help from the HCG diet which I LOVE!!! It does miracles to your body!!! I started the HCG a few weeks ago and then had to stop after five days becuase I got sick. I maintained my weight for 2 weeks by watching portion sizes/eating healthy. I was worried I would put everything right back on after losing 7 pounds on HCG. But it is possible to keep it off, you definitely have to change your lifestyle and be committed though. I just started again on Mon and have lost another 4 pounds in the past 3 days. Don't get me wrong the diet totally sucks and I hate every minute of it, but oh how it is worth it when you get on the scale every morning and you weigh 1-2 pounds less than the day before! It's like magic!!! :) I will probably only do the HCG 5-7 more days because I don't have much more to lose. (which they don't recommend, they recommend doing it the full 20 days, I'm totally breaking the rules...oh well!) But today was the most exciting day, I weigh what I weighed when I was in 18!!! My body may not be as toned but it hey, I'll take what I can get!! haha I have been running and run 2.5 miles 3 times a week, I'm trying to go longer each time! It's taken me 3 weeks to get to that point and I am proud of myself!! Oh and that is while pushing a jogging stroller which is kinda hard to do I promise! I really want to run a 5K before winter and I want to train to run a 10K in spring! Hooray for weight loss, I feel so much better about myself, it really has been an accomplishment for me!!! No more complaing, if I don't like it, I can change it, but nothing in life comes easy!!!

Perks of the job....

My mom works a couple of jobs one of them is working at Thanksgiving Point. She had a end of the year party for all of her teenage volunteers and we got to mooch off of their party and have dinner, lots of treats, and lots of fun! Brynlee loved every second of it and it was hilarious to see her with the animals at the Farm. She has always loved the Farm but now that she can walk she enjoyed herself even more!! She just ran from one animal to another....she would stop look at the animal, jibber jabber something in her own language, laugh at them, and run to the next one!! It was hilarious!! She had lots of snow cone and her and I had matching blue mouths the rest of the night. They had a climbing wall, which I can proudly say I proved my husband wrong when he doubted I would make it to the top!! I even climbed the thing in flip flops!! :) All in all it was a fun family night that didn't cost us a dime...thank you mom for working where you work!!

She thought the goats were the most funny. :)
